Created object appears at bottom of layer list first in CS6, I want it at the top.

In Illustrator CS6, every time I create a shape or draw a line, it puts it in the bottom of my layers list behind everything. I didn't have this problem in Illustrator CS5. I would like to change it so every time I create an object, it goes to the top of the selected group in my layers panel.

DP,
It may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:

5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • I recently bought a new PC and when I transferred my photos a number of them became distorted- the top half was ok but the bottom half were color shifted.  Also a number of them the top and bottom don't line up.  How can I fix this?

    I recently bought a new PC and when I transferred my photos a number of them became distorted- the top half was ok but the bottom half were color shifted.  Also a number of them the top and bottom don't line up.  How can I fix this?

    Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
    I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
    I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes. 
    After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
    The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
    Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this!

  • How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

    How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

    Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages?  If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them.  However, there are workarounds for that.  See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb.  If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

  • I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful.  I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't see

    I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful.  I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't seem to figure this out.  Is there a better way to smooth skin?

    Here's an Adobe help page for isolating skin with suggestion on the use of the blur slider also:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/speedgrade/using/apply-secondary-color-corrections.html
    And here's one of the original creators of Iridas/SpeedGrade, Patrick Palmer, a six minute vid-tut on using secondaries (specifically in CS6 but this hasn't changed):
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-speedgrade-cs6/secondary-color-correction-in-speedgrade-cs 6/
    I'd note, the "blur" and "denoise" tools on the Secondary tab are more about smoothing the keying of the secondary ... they apply a bit of blur or de-noising to make the secondary smoother and cover over the odd pixel or three or four that don't "fit" the key of the secondary in the middle of something you're aiming for.
    In current SpeedGrade, I'd try using the Guassian Blur (Range) effect, and sample a good range of the skin tones.
    And a lot of people use Red Giant's "Cosmo" plug-in over in AfterEffects or Premiere Pro ... it's a tool designed specifically for working skin tones, dealing with blemishes, wrinkles, spots, and such.

  • How do I delete the first seven items that come standard at the top of my favorites list, so that all it includes is my personal favorites?

    My favorites list contains seven unwanted items at the top that I want to remove. I just want it to include the sites I've tagged. I would also like to know the keyboard shortcut that opens the list. I had previously used Alt C, but that doesn't seem to work.
    Thank you for your help,
    a happy new user

    You can only create new folders in one of the three root folders.
    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores the bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account.  Help?

    I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account.  Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips?  Anyone? 

    Four transfers.  After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc.  Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all.  She sent me this link to help:  Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac.  I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

  • In an album, many pictures would show on the screen and double clicking one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger photo shows and along the bottom severa smaller ones. Options which used to be at the top right of screen no longer show. Whel

    In Aperture album about 16 photos would show on screen and double clicking on one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger image shows with about 7 photos at bottom. Options for controlling this no longer appear at top right. How do I correct this?

    Do you mean the "View" controls are missing in your Toolbar?
    To add these controls back to the Toolbar, use the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar". Drag the View Controls back to the Toolbar.

  • Rss section appears below email accounts. I want it at the top where it used to be

    Hello to all.. I had the missfortune to reinstall os 10.7.4. I noticed after doing so my mail sections were out of order.  I had inbox, drafts, sent, trash, on my mac, smart folders, rss, and gmail. Now I ha except it's smart folders, gmail, rss. I tried everything I could think of including removing my gmail and recreating the  account. that worked until I had to trash my PList file. I reopened mail and the rss was at the bottom. I even tried restoring the folders from a older time machine back up and I then tried dragging the rss section back to where it used to be.  with no luck. the darned thing would not budge. if any of has any ideas short of recreating everything I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks.

    Thank you so much! Here's to hoping it works!

  • I have a wish list on i tunes and want to transfere  the songs so I can burn them to a cd..can anyone help please

    You do not need to transfer anything.  Open the wishlist, and click on the price of any song(s) that you want to buy. 
    Once you have purchased them and have them in your library, simply put them into an iTunes playlist and burn in the normal way.

  • How can the servlet engine create objects of interfaces?help

    hello,
    I have this basic fundamental query...when using servlets i noticed that so many methods in the HttpServlet class take as arguments objects of the type "Interface"..where as basic principle in java is u cant instantiate interfaces...interfaces r mere templates which u implement by ur own custom classes.
    For example the doGet method recieves from the servlet engine(servlet container) two arguments which r HttpServletResponse object and HttpServletRequest object..and u use these further to make use of the methods of the inmterfaces..which again is a mystery to me...why?
    here is why:-
    since HttpServletResponse and HttpServletRequest r interfaces..they cant be instantiated...and now that the sevlet engine provides objects of these interfaces...how come u r able to to use the methods of these interfaces...for r they not empty methods?..
    example how r u able to make the sendRedirect() method of HttpServletResponse interface work...is this method not an empty method?
    there r several interfaces...whose objects r being used and passed in this similar fashion....(for example there r many methods that return an enumeration...which is used as if it were an ordinary class that can be instantiated..and whose methods r non empty emthods)
    please help me resolve this mystery
    sheeba

    Don't call me "u". The word is "you". Likewise "are" and not "r".
    The servlet engine creates objects of concrete classes that implement those interfaces. If you want to find the names of those classes in your particular server, you could use for examplereq.getClass().getName()
